Bavaria, Germany
I bring over 30 years of experience in design education, developing and leading undergraduate and graduate programs across design, digital arts, and applied innovation. Over the past decade, I have guided the full lifecycle of academic programs — from curriculum conception and strategic positioning to implementation and continuous development. The programs I have designed and directed combine academic rigor with strong industry relevance and have been successfully established and sustained. A key focus of my work has been close collaboration with industry, enabling students to engage with real-world challenges, applied research, and viable design solutions. Alongside my academic leadership, I maintain an extensive professional design practice, collaborating with clients across disciplines. My work is grounded in design research, strategic thinking, and applied innovation, and is complemented by my background as an installation artist.
